How to read data from network location in fme server

we have run FME server on windows. Here we used an UNC path as the input folder parameter for the workbenches. This allowed us to store the data that we would like to process on a (windows) network share. Another benefit is that we are able to run the workbench in FME Desktop with the same parameters as in FME Server, since we do not rely on the FME_SERVER_* parameters in the workbench. We are now migrating to a FME Linux / Docker installation, and the UNC path solution does not work anymore. We are looking for a way to just change the content of input parameter, and still access the data on the (windows) network share. I can't find the instructions on setting this up. Would we need to mount the windows network share from the linux server? Additional questions: Just mounting the windows share from the linux host is not sufficient. Is it possible to access this mount on the linux host from within the FME server docker by using bind mounts?

Spatial Join to add polygon data to points

What's Up Wednesday (30-Mar-2022): The World Tour Starts, New Webinars Listed, a Fireside Chat, and Customer Stories Revamped. Plus one final chance to vote for FME's Favourite Transformer.

Hello FME'ers,Welcome to What's Up Wednesday The World Tour StartsThe FME World Tour is off to a flying start with a virtual event held by Locus in New Zealand. Today is the final day and I'm scheduled to appear as part of a round table discussion. Of course, there are many more events to come, with Safe's own "Virtual Brunch and Learn" beginning next Tuesday (5th). And while Red Geographics don't have the same supercar (is that a 2CV?) they definitely have the colour-coordination done well, just as you'd expect from a team of cartographers. So visit the full schedule to see what events - both in-person and virtual - you might wish to attend. What's Under the Hood?If you want to see what's under the hood (or bonnet) or FME and take a peek into the engine, then I can recommend an upcoming webinar called, well... Lifting the Hood of the FME Engine. That's myself and my colleague Andrea who are presenting, and we hope to cover in a bit mor

Access "token" not found for connection (Google Sheets)

The above before the parentheses is the error and following up on the solution, I have a web connection that I'm trying to establish in FME Server. When I go through the steps to authenticate, I get the attached dialog. I do not understand what this is telling me. It says to "Navigate to FME" but this dialog came from FME server (after logging into Google) so why isn't it just using it. I do not understand where to put the authorization code. I found these instructions that cover "Managing Web Services" but the Web Service already exists and I don't feel comfortable pasting over what is there because I didn't create it (2nd screenshot).https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/WebUI/Web-Connections.htm

How can I create a simple report of features passing/failing various tests?

I want to create a workspace that checks input data for various criteria. For example: are there polygons smaller than a certain threshold. Ideally I would like an output in a textfile/PDF, that says "2 features have an area below X". I can calculate the area of the feautres and with a Test_Filter I can redirect the features not passing. What is the FME way to extract the count of those features and write it with a meaningful message to a report?

Dynamically Read Multiple CSV Schema - Organize - Export as Standard CSV Structure

Goal: I am trying to standardize the raw CSV files. The output file columns should look like below.Date Time Level Temperature ElevationBackground Info: Each file might have multiple tabs. I need to only process the sheets that named as 20* (2011-2012-2019-2020 etc). Sometimes there is header information in A column in some of the sheets. Thus the table header starts at different row number.Issue: I am using FeatureReader to detect the schema dynamically. If the table starts with header information, the transformer reads the data as a new table. Thus it creates new column names which turns into a larger issue.Normally there are over 200 files with multiple tabs but I've prepared a sample data and included my workbench. Looking for help.

How to truncate a table while the writer is empty.

Hi, I have a workspace that truncates an SDE geometry table and refills it. The workspace runs daily and sometimes there are no records to write. In that case the writer only has to truncate the table. I don't see an option truncate first or anything like that in a sde writer.How can I truncate a table while the writer is empty?

Create underground terrain surface

Hi, community! I have not found any solutions to this problem in FME. The problem is to create underground terrain surface for each polygon class (such as clay, sand or gravel in this case <MRR, MRR, KM and MKM). Polygon classes have different z coordinate (from 1.8 to -8.7) and the colors represent their classes. I want to find a way to merge/dissolve the nearest polygons in the z coordinate (begin from the top) of each class to create terrain surface, see image below. For example, the gray color (see image below) should find the nearest gray color within a z range of 0.5 m or auto, and the next gray color should find the next closest gray color downwards and so on. If a green color is between two grays, the upper gray will stop merging/dissolving on the lower gray. The same process now begins for the lower gray to search downward for the nearest gray color and so on. Once the different polygon classes have been merged/dissolved, they should not overlay or cross each other. Ap

Day 2 is a more technical series of talks with specific demonstrations and examples. Meanwhile, before the event starts, you can also take part in our Data-Driven Photo Contest: Not only do you get to dress as a racing driver, there are also epic prizes including a pass for the FME User Conference and a PS/5! Partner World Tour NewsObviously, there are many partner events going on too, some in-person and some online, but all with the same racecar theme. One in-person event is hosted by Norkart, in Oslo on 21st April. An online event coming up even sooner is hosted by Locus (New Zealand/Australia), 29th-31st March. Why have I picked out those two events

Unable to upload new AGOL web connection

I am attempting to add a new web connection/web service that I have created from the Esri ArcGIS Online service with my own app ID/secret. I have tried to upload the web connection both during workspace publication and also through the Manage Services dialog. In both cases, I am getting the following error: Web service upload failed - FME Server encountered an error and reported the following message.929018:FME Error: Unable to create derived service from a non system web service..

RasterExpressionEvaluator, variable gain to values depending on distance from one side.

Hello, I am looking at trying to build a transversal gain function for numeric rasters. I have several elongated rasters which form corridors. These rasters have a decreasing mean value from one side to the other. Since these rasters have varying orientation it is not simple to establish the row column relationship from side to side.Do anyone have a tip for me how to be able to handle the distance relationship from side to side together with a custom built rasterexpressionevaluator to either scale up or down depending the spatial location in the raster.
